install a krendlelock on a rt limited

[J48cruiser]

I have a 2015 RT Limited with Zumo 590 how hard is it to put this lock on do you have to remove the cradle from the bike, then put back on or can you just put the lock on whats their?

[Bob Denman]

Mine is supposed to be delivered tomorrow... I'm waiting, and watching to see what advice we get! :bbq::bbq::bbq:

[Cavman]

What is it? No luck looking up kremdlelock on Internet.

[JayBros]

Go to the web site and look at the instructions page. If you can tie your shoes you can install a Kradellock. You install it between the GPS cradle and mount.

[Bob Denman]

I should find out today... :D

The package arrived at the Post Office at 8:29 am! :yes:

Just FYI, there was a post about making sure you ask Bob (Kradlelock) for the longer bolts for the Can Am Spyder.

[Bob Denman]

Thanks for the reminder!
I DID mention that, when placing the order... :thumbup:

I hope you'll write a review , with pictures, when you get it all installed. :pray:

I don't want one yet. I'm hoping someone will steal my Zumo 665. That will give me an excuse to buy a 590LM. ;) THEN I'll want one. :thumbup:

If my wish comes true, maybe I can even put in an insurance claim. (Then again, that plan may be screwed after posting this message.)

When I first saw these in a thread a few months ago it looks like an overcomplicated and overpriced accessory. Now a few months later and kind of tired of taking the GPS off every time I stop somewhere (on long trips) and not even bothering to put it on at all on shorter trips, after seeing this thread I also decided to get one and just leave the stinkin thing on all the time. So I ordered one Friday (also asking Bob for the longer bolts to which he replied right away) and it is also out for delivery TODAY. CA to FL over the weekend... impressive. I'll also update later after install. *Also, part of my reasoning is I have too much stuff paired with my Sena 10u - phone, GPS, SR10 (for ham radio/FRS with group), intercom, etc. so I figure if I have GPS mounted full time I can delete my phones direct pairing and perhaps simplify Sena setup. We'll see...

And maybe than you wont put it in a safe place and forget what that safe place is and not be able to find it again. Don't ask how I know this:banghead::banghead::banghead:nojoke

Installed mine a couple of weeks ago and it was pretty easy. Installs between the Existing GPS cradle and the bike mount.
I talked to Bob (Kradellock Guy) about the longer bolts being needed for the RT's. I think he even went to the local Spyder dealer to take measurements.

So package came and I installed it. Took less than 10 min, including interruption. Hardest part to getting tools together. When I got interrupted I guess I missed one picture with the factory mount off, sorry about that :( Anyway...

1. Remove existing/factory cradle via 4 hex head screws. My screws were 9/32" head. I left the existing washers in place.
2. Held Kradellock behind cradle (loose part on wire) and inserted the proper 4 screws. Screw goes through the cradle, through the holes in the kradellock and into the mount on the Spyder. The set came with 2 sets of 4 screws - 1 set philips head 1 5/8" long and 1 set hex head 2+ inches long. I used the philips head as they were perfect length.
3. Screwed the 4 screws back into the bracket/mount remaining on the bike (swivel head) in the same position where screws came out
4. That's it - open kradellock with key, insert GPS then close/push down on top of kradellock until it rests on GPS cradle and while holding down push in the pin in the center of the lock to secure it in place. Use key to unlock and pop kradellock open to remove GPS.

Had to be pretty much the easiest install of anything ever - remove 4 screws and re-install with 4 longer screws with kradellock sandwiched in between. Hope the pictures help, sorry I missed the one with cradle hanging and the bracket on bike.

Good photo work SpyderSteve :D. Now Bob has no excuse :D

[blitzkreig]

OK ... had to order one! I had a similar lock for my old Garmin 6210 and I missed the ability to simply leave the GPS on the bike when I went for a pee :shocked:

[Utah Geezer]

Looks like I'll be ordering one of these tomorrow. Thanks for all the input.

[Bob Denman]

Good photo work SpyderSteve :D. Now Bob has no excuse :D

:shocked: Uh-oh... :opps:

...tackling it this evening! :thumbup:

[SpyderSteveFL]

While I believe anyone with a nutdriver or socket, and screwdriver could do this, I edited the written part of my instructions to be a little more specific - just in case it makes someone a bit more comfortable...

[Dochatley]

Thank you, Thank you!!!!
You made it look so easy I had to get one. One less thing to worry about now when I gas up or go in to eat somewhere. :clap::clap:

[Bob Denman]

I just got done... :2thumbs:

:lecturef_smilie: TRUST ME!!!!! nojoke

If I can install this piece; ANYBODY can!! :thumbup:
It took me 25 minutes, but I'm a Klutz!


This is CHEAP insurance against the theft of an expensive GPS!

Ok, we now have no excuses for not making it to Spyderfest. We have directions now.

My dog always has a seat in the car; but can't drive! :D

If we can punch a destination in: it'll get us there! :thumbup:

Hi All
Thinking outside the square, if you want a cheap quick fix to keep your friends from playing tricks, or worse some low life stealing your Zumo, I put a Plastic Cable Tie on the shaft of the release lever. With the tie in place on the shaft you cannot depress the release lever to remove the Zumo. When done just cut the plastic tie off.

Obviously the Kradlelock is a more robust and preferred deterrent but I find the zip tie handy as a quick fix

[Bob Denman]

(Thinking like a criminal...)
A simple pair of wire cutters, and I'm GONE with your GPS! :yikes:

After seeing how solid and secure this makes the setup; why try to save money on doing it cheaply (And Less securely)? :dontknow:

[JayBros]

The Zumo 590 that was part of my OTD deal came with a complete set of accessories amongst which was a protective cap for the contact pins on the GPS cradle and is locked in place by the Kradellock. I find it a much better option than trying to stretch BRP's rubber boot over the Kradellock and GPS mount when I don't ride with the Zumo installed, like during local running around. It's worth a check with Garmin to see if there is such a device for models other than the 590 if one has a different one. JMO.

[HayRog]

BRP's rubber boot .... if the Kradellock is not locked down, I can fit the top of the boot in the gap between the lock and GPS cradle.
But, that Zumo protective cap does look more secure.

[Bob Denman]

Since there seems to be no reason to lock the boot into place: leave the Kradellock open, and you're good to go! :2thumbs:

[J48cruiser]

Order mine last night will update when it arrives thanks for all the input

If you ordered the Kapplock also; you didn't have to...
But I'm going to use mine to make it tougher for the :cus:-bags to steal my Go-Pro.
(It replaces the big thumbwheel "nut' that is used on any of the Ram accessory mounting arms...)

remove mount, place kradellock under mount, reinstall....done
I really like mine!!!
Seth

[auldy]

Too true Bob
Will probably look to the Kradlelock as a long term solution and look out for suspicious types with wire cutters:spyder:

[J48cruiser]

installed it on Friday it's well made and I feel Secure leaving my GPS on the bike but one problem was the GPS keeps flopping down is there any way to tighten up the up-and-down motion on the mount thanks for any help

[Bob Denman]

I think that you just need to go back in, and tighten up the four screws that hold the Kradellock to the clamps.
I believe that the bottom screw kind of attaches to the "solid" end of the clamp, and the top one attached to the part that tightens down to provide the clamping force. :thumbup:

[JayBros]

On my BRP mount for the Tri-Axis handlebars the bottom two bolts are the ones that adjust the clamping pressure of the cradle on the mount.

[Bob Denman]

:dontknow: That's very possible: mine could be backwards! nojoke
One end goes solidly into the body of the clamps, and the other one hooks to the end that pivots in and out as the tightening force is changed...

[J48cruiser]

THANKS GUYS FOR THE HELP GOT IT ALL TIGHTEN DOWN AND NO PROBLEM WITH MY ROBIN HOOD SUN SHADE STILL FITS ONE LESS THING TO DO AT PIT STOPS

[Bob Denman]

:congrats: Glad to hear that you were able to... :D

OK mine is installed. The hardest part was reading the teeny tiny print used for the instructions sheet! :duh:

[Bob Denman]

They had instruction sheets available on their website in .pdf format. They were printable and downloadable. :thumbup:

[seawolf33]

Just installed the kradellock on my 2015 RTL installed in about 20 min. Gave Bob the size of the screws on the cradle one from the top and on from the bottom
they were both 1" in length he sent me the new screws,they fit perfect would recommend this lock

Highly recommend this product, especially with the WONDERFUL PHOTOS that make it stupid-simple to install! I am mechanically challenged and even I was able to install it in less than 10 minutes. Best of all, my GPS sun shade (Glare Stomper #322) is not in the way at all. So didn't have to change a thing, other than no longer having to remember to remove it when I stop! So awesome! And $125 (including tax (none) and shipping (also none)) is less than any other Farkle I've have added!! When you consider what it would cost to replace the GPS, it's worth it.

So thank you, thank you, thank you :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowd own::bowdown::bowdown: to everyone who showed me the way.

[seawolf33]

Very easy to install I posted pictures
